This week I started developing a plugin for KOReader and, while I can test it just fine with the desktop app, I already want to take advantage of my features on my Kindle. While I can simply copy the new versions of the plugin via SSH while at home, it'd be nicer to simply

Code:

git pull

via the terminal emulator (and also for updating any other community plugins!)

Is there any way to use git in the KOReader app (more specifically, on a Kindle 10th gen)? I've done some googling and found Lua bindings for libgit2. Has someone taken advantage of them or would it be easy to do so? Or can I simply just install a normal git binary?

Thanks for KOReader btw! I've been loving it
